Anthea looked up from her looting position, coin purse in hand. ‘Lucky’ She thought to herself as she counted thirty silver pieces, and a dozen or so gold coins. Anthea had a silvertongue when it came to lying, but she was fonder of telling the truth, just to see the looks on people’s faces. And her lies always sounded much more believable than the truth anyway.

“Exactly as Elle says.” She said smiling to Elle. Elle was adorable and the fluffy ears just made her all the more innocent looking. She had a face anyone would trust. So anytime Elle lied, or did anything that didn’t suit her appearance, Athena got a kick out of it. Not that she was going to start laughing out loud or anything, but her mood was spectacular for now.

“So much fun.” she mumbled to herself as she walked over to the horse and packed away the loot. Anthea decided today she would just wing it, and do as she pleases. This was always her favorite thing to do, though no preplanning usually ended in trouble, but great stories.

She looked Aelfric in the eye for the first time, smiled slyly at him, and then looked back to Elle. “Anyway Elle we should find a nice place away from the dead guys to set up camp. Oh and we must have breakfast as you were saying. You’re welcome to join us Aelfric.” She said purposely forgoing titles, wondering how the noble boy would react. She picked up Elle’s cooking pot, and checked for cracks, wonderfully enough there was none. 

Breakfast sounded just fine to her, the fact that she just killed two men, and they were standing next to dead bodies, was not something that would ruin her appetite as it would most people. Rubetta the horse snickered lazily as she munched on a grassy patch.
